HLA Alicante’s seventh victory without having to suffer Against a very weak opponent in Menorca who threw in the towel in the third quarter. Lucentum’s rule was absolute From start to finish, Kostadinov’s movements, Adrià Rodríguez’s quality and Barro’s power under the basket stood out in the match. It wasn’t a very bright HLA meeting, but More than enough to bend with complete ease to a Menorca lost on the road from which it had achieved nothing from the beginning. Lucentum gained confidence with a big win ahead of Saturday’s game against San Pablo Burgos.
Kostadinov and Barro They outplayed Menorca in the first moments of the match, which seemed to be quite calm due to the superiority they showed at the beginning of the match (4-11). The Balearic team’s defense gave the Alicante team many opportunities, but their three-pointers kept them in the game. HLA clearly dominated the first quarter without having to do anything extraordinary. Kostadinov led Menorca with eight points with a clear game in the Lucienne color (14-23).
The scene remains the same A very safe Lucentum that allows no compromises Even though both teams were very intense in the first minutes against Menorca. While the Balearic Islands were reluctant to throw in the towel, Pérez Caínzos had to call a timeout to redirect the situation after HLA failed to find their way through a minor crisis (19-25). The reaction was immediate. With the partial score of 3-7, the Alicante team regained the 10-point advantage (22-32), which it could play with peace of mind. While Menorca entrusted everything to the trios, HLA had a lot of presence in the home game and they operated with great superiority. Lucentum entered the first half with the biggest lead of the match (25-38) and an immeasurable Kostadinov (12 points, 6 rebounds and 20 efficiency points).
Lucentum in the third quarter I would win the game without pain. A three-pointer and a counterattack by Adrià Rodríguez took the lead by 17 points (25-42) and the game is very close to being doomed against a completely blocked Menorca who do not know how to face a much superior opponent. The advantage continued to grow with great ease. Adrià showed off with quality details as the minutes ticked away, allowing HLA to continue crushing their opponent who was getting nothing. Complete dominance of the Caínzos team in the quarter when the game was considered a foregone conclusion.
The last quarter had little history anyway for after Lucentum’s accumulated advantage there was little at stake. Although the difference was always around 20 points, Menorca’s only aim was to try to hide the result.
